Dry extraction technology
HOST® Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaner is a soft, natural product that is environmentally friendly and works in much the same way as an ordinary kitchen sponge. Just like you would use a sponge to wipe up a spill, or to wash and absorb dirt from a counter or wall, HOST is used to wash and absorb dirt from your carpet fibers. As with using a kitchen sponge, you want to limit the amount of water you use while cleaning. Think of the carpet pile as a vertical surface, like a wall. If you use too much liquid, it will run down the yarn toward the carpet backing, just as too much liquid runs down a wall. If you allow this dissolved dirt to run down the backing, it can be more difficult to remove and can wick back.
Because HOST is a dry carpet cleaning system it carries the liquid ingredients to the carpet fibers in a controlled way. The soft, organic, natural HOST Sponges contain all the necessary liquid to dissolve and absorb both water based and oil based dirt. It’s moistened with water, detergent and a small amount of safe solvent. And because HOST is a low moisture cleaning system, when you’re finished cleaning, the carpet is dry and ready to use immediately.
Chemical and mechanical action is required to break the oil bond and pull the dirt away from the carpet fibers. Then this loosened dirt must be removed. HOST is formulated to dissolve both types of dirt and then to absorb it. HOST cleaning doesn’t leave a sticky residue to cause rapid re-soiling. A trace of sponges may remain in the carpet after vacuuming but it is not abrasive or harmful. This trace amount of sponges will be removed with subsequent vacuuming. It’s that simple!

What does Green Seal Certified mean?
Green Seal Certification means that a product or service has been tested according to science-based environmental leadership standards, that it works as well or better than others in its class, and that it has been evaluated without bias or conflict of interest. This gives manufacturers the assurance to back up their claims, and purchasers confidence that certified products are better for human health and the environment.
To earn the coveted Green Seal, a product must meet the Green Seal environmental standard for the category as demonstrated by rigorous evaluation, testing and a plant visit.
By identifying, certifying, and promoting environmentally responsible products and services, Green Seal:
Improves the environment by reducing toxic pollution and waste, conserving resources and habitats, and minimizing global warming and ozone depletion.
Increases health and well-being, particularly in populations most affected by product choice, such as schoolchildren, service staff, and the elderly.
Demonstrates to various business segments that environmentally responsible products can improve quality and boost profitability.
